All will bring overly anxious young miners to the poor house. Are you thinking about that? OBJECTIVE You have two objectives in BOULDER DASH "CONSTRUCTION KIT1? You can either play the pre-saved game provided on the program disk, or construct your own games with the construction kit. If you play the pre-saved game, your objective in BOULDER DASH CON STRUCTION KIT is to search through different caves to find as many diamonds as possible. You must rely on strategy and planning to guide you through each cave. With quick reflexes and careful moves you can avoid different obstacles and enemy creatures. You have a limited amount of time to mine each cave, and each cave has a limit to the number of diamonds you can mine.

IMPORTANT: Please be aware that all commands listed in this manual are for the Commodore 64/128 version of the program, but should be the same for most other systems. Please refer to your KEYBOARD COMMAND CARD for keyboard or other commands specific to your system. Make your Selections After the game is loaded, you will have a set of choices to make. First you must choose between using the BOULDER DASH Construction Kit (to create/edit your own mazes), or the BOULDER DASH Game Module (to play the pre- saved game.) Follow the directions on screen to make your selection. Note: If you are unfamiliar with BOULDER DASH games, it is a good idea to start out in the Game Module mode. You will become familiar with the different objects and moving creatures and how they work. You can then create your own caves exactly as you like! You must next select the number of players (1 or 2) you will play with, and the number of joysticks (1 or 2) you will use. Choose the number of players/ joysticks by pressing F3, (see KEYBOARD COMMAND CARD for key commands on the Apple, IBM, Atari 800, Atari ST). The Game Module comes with one complete pre-saved game for you to start with. The game, GAME1, consists of 12 caves and 3 intermissions. Caves scroll to be 4 screens large. Intermissions are single screens, and allow you to earn bonus points. (Intermissions rewards you for getting through caves alive. If you lose an intermission, you still go on to the next cave.) To play the pre-saved game, load it by pressing RETURN (or see KEYBOARD COMMAND CARD) when asked for the game file. GAME1 will shift colors when it's loaded, and you can select a cave or intermission number (01 -15) to play by moving the joystick up or down. Press the FIRE BUTTON when the number of your choice appears (and the game will begin). (See the KEY BOARD COMMAND CARD to make your selections with the keyboard.) Mining a Cave In each cave you will find different obstacles and enemy creatures you will need to avoid or trap while mining for or creating diamonds. See Appendix A for a list and description of each obstacle and creature. Start the Game To start the game after you've made all your selections, press the FIRE BUTTON. Pause at any point in the game by pressing the SPACE BAR. Restart the game by pressing the SPACE BAR again. (See KEYBOARD COMMAND CARD for key commands for other systems.) You will start with 3 lives, but will earn an extra life with every 500 points you earn. Scoring Information At the top of the screen is a bar with numbers. The numbers stand for the following information (left to right): • The number of diamonds you are required to mine in the current cave in order to exit. • The value of each single diamond. • The number of diamonds you have collected so far. • The time you have remaining to complete the cave. • The total points you have accumulated. (This order may differ from system to system) Earn points for: • Each diamond you collect. • Every second you have left on the timer when you exit the cave. • Every diamond you collect above the minimum number of diamonds required to exit (bonus points). CONSTRUCT A GAME From the first menu screen, select the BOULDER DASH CONSTRUCTION KIT mode (#1). You will be given the following choices: • Edit An Existing Screen: Edit a game that is already created and saved to disk. • Create a New Cave: Construct your own cave from scratch. • Create A New Intermission: Create a single-screen cave that can later be inserted between regular caves. You will then have a palette available to you from which you can select items to create a cave or intermission. The objects along the side of the palette contain the elements and obstacles that appear in BOULDER DASH Game Module. You will use the items in the palette to construct your own caves and intermis sions. With the CONSTRUCTION KIT, you can create games as wild as your imagina tion. A game can be as long or as short as you like. Remember, when you are constructing your games that caves scroll to be 4 screens large. You can see all 4 screens at die same time by using the Full Screen function (press F or see the KEYBOARD COMMAND CARD). Intermissions are single screens used for bonus points. Construct your games, cave by cave, saving each cave as you create it. Use boulders, growing walls, butterflies, amoeba's, and other items to add risk and adventure to your caves. But remember always to add an entrance, an exit, and some diamonds (or means for creating diamonds) in your caves. Appendix A gives you a list of obstacles and creatures, and a list of commands for construct ing your caves. 8 After constructing and testing each cave and intermission, you should Save it. You may change the sequence in which caves and intermissions are played at any time.

  • Retrocomputing As Preservation and Remix
    Retrocomputing as Preservation and Remix Yuri Takhteyev Quinn DuPont University of Toronto University of Toronto [email protected] [email protected] Abstract This paper looks at the world of retrocomputing, a constellation of largely non-professional practices involving old computing technology. Retrocomputing includes many activities that can be seen as constituting “preservation.” At the same time, it is often transformative, producing assemblages that “remix” fragments from the past with newer elements or joining together historic components that were never combined before. While such “remix” may seem to undermine preservation, it allows for fragments of computing history to be reintegrated into a living, ongoing practice, contributing to preservation in a broader sense. The seemingly unorganized nature of retrocomputing assemblages also provides space for alternative “situated knowledges” and histories of computing, which can sometimes be quite sophisticated. Recognizing such alternative epistemologies paves the way for alternative approaches to preservation. Keywords: retrocomputing, software preservation, remix Recovering #popsource In late March of 2012 Jordan Mechner received a shipment from his father, a box full of old floppies. Among them was a 3.5 inch disk labelled: “Prince of Persia / Source Code (Apple) / ©1989 Jordan Mechner (Original).” Mechner’s announcement of this find on his blog the next day took the world of nerds by storm.1 Prince of Persia, a game that Mechner single-handedly developed in the late 1980s, revolutionized computer games when it came out due to its surprisingly realistic representation of human movement. After being ported to DOS and Apple’s Mac OS in the early 1990s the game sold 2 million copies (Pham, 2001).

  • Chapter 18 Magazines and Newsletters
    Chapter 18 Magazines and Newsletters 18.1 ... The Beginning Publication of personal computing articles was initially in electronic magazines such as Popular Electronics, QST and Radio-Electronics. Then came the magazines and newsletters devoted to personal computing and microcomputers. Most of these initial publications were not specific to a particular microprocessor or type of microcomputer. The following are some of the more significant publications. The first publication devoted to personal computing was the Amateur Computer Society ACS Newsletter. The editor was Stephen B. Gray who was also the founder of ACS. The first issue was published in August 1966 and the last in December 1976. It was a bi- monthly directed at anyone interested in building and operating a personal computer. The newsletter was a significant source of information on the design and construction of a computer during the time period it was published. The PCC Newsletter was published by Robert L. Albrecht of the People's Computer Company in California. The first issue was published in October 1972. The first issue cover stated it “is a newspaper... about having fun with computers, learning how to use computers, how to buy a minicomputer for yourself your school and books films and tools of the future.” The newspaper name changed to the People’s Computers with a magazine type of format in May-June 1977. Hal Singer started the Micro-8 Newsletter in September 1974. This was a newsletter published by the Micro-8 Computer Users Group, originally the Mark-8 Group for Mark-8 computer users. Another publication started in 1974, was The Computer Hobbyist newsletter.
